Today is our 14th Wedding Anniversary! We’ve been together for almost 18 years, and I wouldn’t change a thing. No, really.

They say marriage is 50/50, each partner pulling on a rope. Sometimes one partner can pull harder than the other, taking up the slack. Sometimes things shift, and the other person finds the strength needed to pull harder when needed. I’ve always loved this analogy, but with a twist: I think it’s important to realize that both are pulling from the same side.

You’re both pulling from the same side, and that makes all the difference.
